A polar bear was shot and killed in Norway after attacking a polar bear guard.

And despite the fact that the polar bear injured the guard, Twitter is furious that a threatened species was killed.

He suffered non-life-threatening head injuries and is said to be in a stable condition. "As soon as such an animal approaches, the shore leave would be stopped immediately".

He explained that usually, if a wild bear is seen, guards "shoot into the air" to scare the animal away. They then set up a land station and check the area again to make sure that there are no polar bears in sight. "One of the guards was unexpectedly attacked by a polar bear that had not been spotted and he was unable to react himself". "We are extremely sorry that this incident has happened". In Arctic regions, their numbers have declined - a development linked to the loss of sea ice.

He was accompanying a tourist expedition from the MS Bremen of Hapag-Lloyd Cruises on Saturday. Polar bears are also facing extinction due to global warming. "Customers need to start asking themselves if they feel good about a native bear being shot dead to enable their selfish intrusion into this lovely creature's home", wrote one upset poster.
